Stanford Medicine offers free video recording for courses and events in our spaces using our automated recording system. All videos are delivered via a SUNet authenticated webpage as streaming video, a downloadable picture in picture video file (.mp4 format) and an audio file (mp3 format). Custom media publication strategies, including public release, may be possible on request.

All events and courses interested in video capture should contact the Mescheduling team via Classroom Reservations and Features or via email at medscheduler@stanford.edu. Once capture is scheduled, the presenter should complete the Stanford Speaker Release.

Each course or event that requests capture will have a dedicated lecture media page created prior to the first scheduled capture. Media links for each scheduled capture will feed through to the lecture media page within 3-4 hours after the scheduled end of recording.

For Stanford Medicine courses and Stanford University electives that have a Canvas course, the lecture media page will be available as a link in the right-hand course navigation.

For courses that do not have a Canvas course setup or for special events, such as conferences and Grand Rounds, a direct link to the lecture media page is emailed directly to the indvidual that requests capture for the event.

If you require the link to a capture, please submit a HelpSU request containing the name of the event, the date and time it took place, and the location that the event was held.

For more information about acceptable use of media, visit the Course Content Access and Appropriate Use page.

Educational Technology has a mobile polling system of over 100 polling keypads for use in any LKSC or Team Learning Classroom that can be reserved for use in classrooms that we schedule . Email medscheduler@lists.stanford.edu or call 650 723-6952 to reserve the keypads for your session. Please specify how many keypads you would like and what time you want them set up and removed. After you make a reservation, you will be contacted by staff who can help you learn how to use polling in your sessions.

For the mobile polling system, Educational Technology normally sets up the polling system 10 minutes before your scheduled session. The keypads will be set out for your session so just remind student to pick up a keypad as they enter the room and return them when the session is finished.

The Lane Library now has a mobile set of polling devices available for 24 hour checkout to be used at any of your events. The set comes with a USB polling receiver, a hand-held polling receiver, 20 polling devices, and instructions and software, all packaged together in a convenient carrying case.

Reservations for the system can be made by e-mailing lanecirculation@lists.stanford.edu or calling the service desk at 650-723-6831.
